As Plant Supervisor you'll be responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operation of our Ready Mix plant ensuring the highest standards of safety, quality, customer service and operational performance.

We're looking for a hands-on, people-focused Plant Supervisor to lead our Ready Mix concrete operations at our busy Agecroft Concrete Plant in Salford.
